Student Discipline

The
Association supports state law that requires school districts to
implement a student code of conduct that is age-appropriate, and
includes campus placement/review committees, the minimum requirements of
documentation and parental notification, and a limited three-day
student suspension.

Charter Schools

The
Association supports the current limited number of independent charter
schools that must be approved by the State Board of Education. Charter
schools should not be exempt from safety, student assessment,
accountability, transportation, employing fully qualified and certified
public educators, nondiscrimination and other essential rules.

Bully Prevention

Students
have the right to learn in school without undue interference of their
education by other students. The Association advocates positive measures
to promote a safe learning environment for all children such as the
teaching of social skills and conflict resolution.
